#46208 [Opn->Bgs]: Comparing integer to string loses leading 0's

ID: 46208 Updated by: tularis@php.net Reported By: brennan at reverseproductions dot com -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem Operating System: OSX PHP Version: 5.2.6 New Comment: Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php 05 is an integer, not a string. And as far as integers go, 5 === 05 === 000000005. If you want it to be a string, declare it as a string: '05'. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-10-01 06:19:08] brennan at reverseproductions dot com Description: ------------ When comparing an integer with a string any leading 0's in the integers are ignored. Reproduce code: --------------- $day = "05"; echo "05 == 05: "; if (!(strcmp(05, $day))) echo "equal"; else echo "not equal"; echo "<br>"; echo "07 == 05: "; if (!(strcmp(07, $day))) echo "equal"; else echo "not equal"; Expected result: ---------------- 05 == 05: equal 07 == 05: not equal Actual result: -------------- 05 == 05: not equal 07 == 05: not equal ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=46208&edit=1
